Mara Romero Borella, Iuri Alcantara, Jeff Hughes and Khadis Ibragimov released by UFC

The UFC has once again slimmed down the roster after releasing four more fighters.

Mara Romero Borella, Iuri Alcantara, Jeff Hughes and Khadis Ibragimov have all been released from the UFC with all four coming off losses.

UFC officials confirmed the news to MMA Fighting on Thursday.

Alcantara was once considered a promising prospect in the UFC after he joined the promotion off a stunning first round knockout against Ricardo Lamas in WEC. Once he was part of the UFC roster, Alcantara picked up impressive wins over Illarde Santos, Wilson Reis, Brad Pickett and Luke Sanders.
